Sports with Rosmini

Every Tuesday we go down to Rosmini at 9.00 to meet with our sports guides from Rosmini. They are using our sport programme and create activities that use the skills we learn in our own PE lesson at St Joes.

We love meeting up with them and have a lot of fun as we are grouped right across the 4 classes from Room 1 to 4. At the end the Rosmin boys give us feedback on how we went-then it is our turn to tell them what they can do better!

More photos to enjoy...

  
So who is left to visit us......is it you? We look forward to seeing you soon.

So who has been visiting room 1 lately

Wow it has been so busy as our visitors to Lord Ransom's castle have kept on coming in. We have got a little behind entering these as we have been studying Middle Ages life and the research has taken up most of our school time. We are now in the closing stages of recording our gathered data to answer our question and by Friday our displays of our knowledge will be shared.
The hardest part has been including a Bibliography of our sources-as at first we collected data and then forgot where it had come from.
Using the descriptor on the computer sites has certainly helped us to only open the sites that relate to our topic.
Next week we will be starting the science part of the Middle Ages by looking at the simple machines they used to lift those huge blocks for the Cathedrals-pulleys, levers and wedges.

Parents in the Castle

We have had even more parents coming to have their picture taken inside Lord Ransom's Castle. Amazingly the idea has ballooned and many visitors dropped in this week- even more than last week! Although there is a dungeon we haven't had to use it YET!!!!
As our research continues we are searching relevant information that will answer our questions. How does a castle defend itself from different kinds of attack..?....why were punishments so hard...?....what was the cause and consequence of disease in the Middle Ages ? and many other questions.
When you have a few minutes to spare come and see us in action.

We have still been taking up the challenge for every parent to come in to room 1's castle. So far we have had about 20 parents in castle.We still need 12 more parents to get a full house !!!.

Who's been in the castle

We put out a challenge to all our families and followers to come and have a photo in Lord Ransom's castle.So far we have had 5 parents already do this, so who will be the next visitors?

finished castle pictures

We have finished our castle and it looks amazing, we are very proud of ourselves. We have a walkin draw bridge and a dungeon. We have some pictures of our master piece. When we assessed the skills we learnt we linked it to Bloom's Taxonomy- we used foundation skills in remembering  about castles, we understood the perspectives we needed we then applied the knowledge to build the walls. As we worked we used the H.O.T. skills-analysing the type of drawbridge to build, we did lots of debating and arguing of the best ideas, evaluated the finished design and made recommendations,then we created it.
